We are a entertainment facility in Downtown Akron, Ohio that caters to all types of entertainment from local and regionaly produced entertainment to national and international touring productions

Long recognized among the community’s cultural landmarks, the Akron Civic Theatre has a rich and spectacular history.
It has provided the community with a venue for quality entertainment and live performances for over seventy years.
During that time, hundreds of thousands of people have been thrilled by various theatrical presentations, both on stage and on screen.
The theater was built in 1929 by Marcus Loew and designed by famed theater architect, John Eberson. The interior structure was fashioned after a Moorish castle featuring Mediterranean decor, including medieval carvings, authentic European antiques and Italian alabaster sculptures.
Among facilities of its size, the Civic is one of only five remaining atmospheric theaters in the country where patrons experience a twinkling star-lit sky and intermittent clouds moving across the horizon, all while sitting inside the auditorium.

Ivy & Lila: Livevirtually, Baby Shark video

Here is a feel good video to end your weekend! Thank you Ivy & Lila for reminding us to wash our hands!

Keep an eye on our page tomorrow! We will announce our next livevirtually video challenge!

Anyone that has been a fan of Blues/Roots/Zydeco music in the Cleveland area, certainly has been to Wilbert's Food & Music Wilbert's Food and Music. Mike Miller, the proprietor, has been bringing International acts to the Cleveland area for over 30 years. From his first venue at Barney Googles in the Holiday Inn Richfield to the present downtown location, Mike has booked the top Blues/Zydeco/Singer-Songwriters and over 100 Grammy Award winners. Buckwheat Zydeco, Roy Buchanon, Buddy Guy, Mick Taylor Marcia Ball, Kieth Urban, Web Wilder, Nils Lofgren is just touching the surface of the great artists that have graced Mike's many venues.

Not only are the loyal Wilbert's employees out of work because of C-19 virus, but the kitchen in Wilbert's had a devastating fire in September and the club has been shuttered since then. The COH Duo hopes to raise a couple of bucks for Mike's employees and maybe a stipend for the 3 COH members (Dillon, Toby, Pete) who rely totally on music for their income. Please join us Saturday April 11 from 7-8:30 for a "COH Live Basement Concert". This time around we are going to try to engage with the audience a lot more and do more live song requests. Any generous donations thru PayPal or Venmo are so greatly appreciated. Go to Cats On Holiday page to access the broadcast.
